Mitch at the Cats

[jnrmac 19,058]

Strained a calf already, according to Jay Clark's twitter.

How depressing....

[AzzKikA 2,371]

Having dealt with depressed patients for many years, this is a typical blame deflection tactic; to blame others for ill will that you have caused, relying on the ignorance of people to prevent a backlash and keep yourself painted in a positive light.

Whats your hourly rate Lama? I believe i do this all the time!

[ManDee 7,089]

Poor old Mitch, can't catch a break. Whatever he does and wherever he goes problems arise. Oh well shiit happens. I'm glad its happening at Geelong now.

[Redleg 37,691]

And the soft tissue injuries continue for the 97 game player.

Meanwhile, 199 game player Lamumba is flying in his 11th preseason.

The two were drafted only one year apart.

Please don't moz HL.

MC did suffer from calf injuries during that last pre season with us and they can be nasty, as you get older.

I believe they are referred to in footy speak as the old man's injury. Very hard to shake off when a player gets older as you say red.

I rate Mitch very highly. When he was fit he was by far our best player. I believe if he does get physically and mentally fit he will win the Coleman Medal. Consider how good he would be with Geelong midfield supply and Hawkins beside him which would not allow Mitch to be double teamed. Its a scary thought.

What are the chances of Mitch being physically and mentally fit? From his historical record the chances are low............... but I have a bad feeling.

Absolutely agree with this.

Worst discussion Cats have made in 20 years. Hopefully it's the start of there down fall, I'm sick of them being in the 8

Me too!

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

How long's Clark's contract with the Cats?

Not that that seems to be a relevant factor for Mitch - although I expect the Cats take their contracts seriously.

[jnrmac 19,058]

I guess it will be interesting to see whether the 'miracle cure' of a new club is enought to help him deal with another soft tissue injury.

[DemonOX 8,541]

Brought a tear to my eye when I read that MC had injured his calf. A tear of happiness that is.

What comes around goes around and couldn't happen at a nicer club either.

[Roger Mellie 3,511]

Clark has already shafted 3 clubs, why not four ?

He has shafted 4 - he agreed to go to Collingwood and shafted them royally, so I think he's up to 5 clubs!

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't he start having calf trouble on his attempted return at Melbourne? I know it was a soft tissue issue, I remember hamstring trouble as well, but this has a familiarity to it. Only this time I am very happy with the news. EAD you faker and fraudulent poser.

[jackaub 1,402]

Poor Mitch gotta feel sorry for him Wish he was still with us such a great team player and a valuable asset lost.

So sad ...

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

A great sense of schadenfreude has hit Demonland

I went and watched a training at Gosch's really early on when he was returning from a string I believe.

He was beaming being out on the track with the boys and doing some run throughs at good pace while kicking a few pills around. You could see he was just loving being out with the lads and you could see the team mates all being right behind him chirping it up. It was nearly right in front of me when his calf went pop and he went down.

He hit the ground a few times and looked absolutely devastated to the fact I thought he might have been crying, not in pain but just devastation and frustration. As lame as it is I nearly teared up as well as he looked an emotional reck and was clearly shattered.

I don't think Mitch is necessarily a bad person for leaving us as we will never know what really happened.

- Maybe he is just an emotional bipolar suffering crazy man who Roos and co thought it would be safer to get rid of instead of his team mates and us waiting for the return of our messiah.

- Maybe also, he is a dog, used the club to get fit again and ditched us for another chance at glory.

- Maybe he's just a 12 year old in the body of a potential superstar who put to much pressure on himself to single handedly lift a club and his body forbid this causing his dark days.

I actually hope he has a good year and his body holds up as he is a wonderful player and the game needs more like him when he is at his best however I hope the cats massively bottom out and we leap frog them on the ladder.

Would be glorious.

I hope Geelong lose a lot of games.

Aside from that, I hope everyone health and happiness!

I was just devastated when i heard Mitch had a soft tissue injury again

He will be feeling so low today...Such a hard life.

More wedding shoots to come....

I'm getting married later this year. Back in the days when I was still milling it about in my head, for about a minute I thought it would be kinda cool to have Mitch as a wedding photographer.

I want to go back in time and slap myself in the face at the precise moment that thought entered my head.

As long as you didn't book it in P you will be fine!!

Soon as i saw all those photos come out, i knew there was something dodgy going on

10-1 on he will never get on the park

Although I must admit I was a little shattered with Mitch's actions as I thought his retirement and return was premeditated and lowered his trade value to Melbourne and he wasn't described as our highest paid player but a guy returning from retirement.... I moved on!!!

He doesn't owe the club anything regardless of what people on here think. Melbourne would flick him if it didn't suit us so why what does he owe the club.

Yes he was injured and we were paying him but that's a known issue with football contracts and can happen to anyone

Look what we were happy to do to trengove despite his loyalty!!!!

Players owe clubs nothing as it's all business
